New Shed

As part of my house building project I decided to build a 30X40 pole barn for a shop. One big sliding door and a small service door - white roof, white doors, and red sides. Crew showed up SATURDAY AFTERNOON about 4:30 (when every other builder is knocking off - if they even worked on Saturday). They worked till 9:00 pm and started again early Sunday morning. At 4:30 the foreman walked over to the basement (where I was working) and said they where done, If I'd pay them they would hit the road home!

All in all they did a good job - for the low low price of $5995.00, that was with a screwed on roof and the sides nailed. About the only thing I didn't like was they didn't clean up very well - only only made a pile of the left overs- they didn't haul anything off with them. A truck had dropped off all the materials on Thursday and their pickup was loaded with tools so they didn't have room for anything extra. I even had time on Sunday to wire lights and a couple outlets - the electrician is going to here today to install the fuse box. These guy where great!

I am drooling....
I want one. I wonder if your builder has any affiliations in North Georgia? How much do they charge for a road trip and what kind of beer do they drink?
